Since earning his first All-Star nod, Alex Cobb has allowed 5+ ER in half of his six starts. The Giants got on the board quickly against lefty Andrew Heaney but were silenced when Bruce Bochy came …
SAN FRANCISCO — Bruce Bochy was always known for his bullpen strategy, and he pulled out a doozy Saturday evening that flummoxed the Giants and his counterpart, Gabe Kapler.
They went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base, three of whom were stranded after a bases-loaded, inning-ending double play immediately following the pitching change. Upon turning to Anderson, Kapler stuck with Austin Slater, despite his poor splits against righties, and he grounded into an inning-ending double play.
Texas took a commanding lead with back-to-back rallies in the fourth and the fifth that ended Alex Cobb’s night.
